  • THE BLITZ projects Tampa Bay to drop back to pass on 63.3% of their plays in this game (#8-highest rate of the week) based on their tendencies and matchup-specific factors.
  • Tampa Bay's O-Line grades out as the #10-best in the NFL in protecting the passer this season, which impacts how much time their QB has to find Evans open.
  • Tampa Bay's offensive has kept pressure off the quarterback for 2.40 seconds on average this year (#7-most in the NFL), influencing his ability to scan for open receivers.

  • CONS:
  • The Buccaneers are a 14.5 point favorite. This indicates an extreme rushing game script.
  • Tampa Bay has run play-action on 20.4% of their passes this year, #29-most in football. Play action passes lead to a higher completion rate as the defense bites on the run.

  • NEUTRAL:
  • This week, THE BLITZ projects Evans for a -2.8% higher target share than he has garnered this season (perhaps due to team injuries, a change in role, or matchup dynamics), one of the most notable differences of the week.

  • The Jets's pass defense ranks #17-best in the NFL against wide receivers, allowing 155 yards per game this season.
  • As a unit, the Jets cornerbacks rank #20 in pass coverage.
  • Defenses leave more areas of the field open to the pass when they stack the box to stop the run. The Buccaneers have faced the #21-most stacked boxes in the league this year (12.7%).

    THE BLITZ projects Evans to exceed his player prop total 57.0% of the time. He projects for 53.8 Receiving Yards (on average) in this matchup.

    According to THE BLITZ, there is positive value on the OVER, with an expected value of $7.64. That makes its return on investment yield +7%.
